Which case is better they are both the same price in my country. Will the Hyper EVO 212 fit in both? And can I water cool my CPU?

They're very similar inside so it comes down to what you like. I like the understated appearance of the 100R myself. There are 2 versions of the 100R. One has side window and roof vents for fans and the silent version (a little more expensive) has solid roof and solid side panel and is quieter.
Both cases list max cooler height as 150mm. Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO is 159mm. Previous threads on this subject confirm it fits but it is very close to touching the case window. Corsair liquid coolers compatible with 100R and Spec-01 are H55, H60, H75, H80i.
